Facebook’s war on ‘fake news’ has skeptics asking: Who decides? … Facebook’s big crackdown on so-called “fake news” has one glaring fault, according to critics: Who gets to say what’s real and what’s not? –Fox News

Facebook announced last week that they were partnering with a handful of media organizations to begin fact checking news stories posted on Facebook. Appointed fact checkers include: Snopes, the Associated Press, ABC News, PolitiFact and FactCheck.org…

Where’s Breitbart? Or Fox News? Thing is, only liberals will use them especially when they get fact-checked by conservatives and become ‘fake fact checkers’ , just like what happened this election to CNN a.k.a. Clinton News Network. Conservatives will continue to go to conservative websites because liberal hacks – even if they are the ‘annointed’ fact checkers by Mark Zuckerberg – will never become a choice by conservatives as news source.

Mark Hemingway of The Weekly Standard criticized all fact-checking projects by news organizations, including PolitiFact, the Associated Press and the Washington Post, writing that they “aren’t about checking facts so much as they are about a rearguard action to keep inconvenient truths out of the conversation”.[

Almost all of the writers churning out fact checks for Snopes have a liberal background, and many of them have expressed contempt for Republican voters. The Daily Caller could not identify a single Snopes fact-checker who comes from a conservative background. Snopes did not respond to a list of questions from TheDC regarding the site’s ideological leaning.

At least two of the site’s fact-checkers joined Snopes after writing for Raw Story, a far-left publication that describes itself as a “progressive news site that focuses on stories often ignored in the mainstream media.” Several others have demonstrated liberal partisanship.

RUSH: Everything's being done here through the lens of the media, and the owners want these pictures of themselves taking a knee, linking with the players. And they think they're buying something with this. And I don't believe they are.

RUSH: No longer is this just gonna be a long list of stories that I might mention on the program. Now, you will get specifically the stories that I talk about on the program and a select list of a few others that I intended to get to but ran out of time. It's going to be more of a real-time base feature rather than just a generic list of places that I g […]

CALLER: I'm a 27-year veteran of the Army, just retired in January. So we're big military supporters as well. But I had to call -- and I can't even believe I'm talking to you -- when you mentioned my dad's name, Bill Tobin.

RUSH: This is a workplace issue. And the First Amendment's guarantee of free speech doesn't apply here. The First Amendment only says that the government, Congress shall make no law abridging your right to freedom of speech, state actions. But employers can tell employees what they can say and can't say in certain situations, how to behave, wh […]
